Chromium for Linux reaches Dev build milestone
By Fabio on Sunday May 31st 2009 05:44 | Category: Software
The daily build has now been given the DEV development status, meaning it is heading for completion soon. New features have been added since the latest Alpha build.
It appears today the Chromium browser project has reached another milestone release after its Alpha release last week. The new state in it's development is the DEV release which has just been uploaded to their daily build repository and carries build #3.0.183.0.
This DEV release finally allows for some options to be configured, foor the preferences panel has been ported to GTK+ now besides the programmers amongst us regular users can configure their browser as well, therefore making this DEV build an important addition to the line of development for the Chromium project.
The browser still has a long way to go from here but at least this is a huge step towards its completion. I can tell you, every build is getting faster and faster so as I stated in my previous Chromium update, this browser should be able to give Firefox (even 3.5) a run for it's mone.. bandwith.
The thing that still frustrates me to death when using the early build is the lacking ability to use quote marks.. try writing some HTML in your post without quote marks, pretty impossible right? But heck everyone knows this is just the early stages so don't let that hold you back on trying the DEV build yourself.
Go update your development branch immediately!
Thats an order!
